Hello all!
          	
          	I apologize for the suddenness of this, but I have decided to unpublish my content due to the new content guidelines. As I work towards editing and writing future work, I will update once I have established myself on another platform (it'll probably be Ao3 tbh lol).
          	
          	Again, I apologize T^T This is not how I wanted my experience with Wattpad to end.

Looking forward to seeing you on ao3 huhu. You never know what they deem as ‘acceptable’ and ‘not acceptable’ with the guidlines. Everything can be defined differently

There are stories on here that are JUST porn and I think that’s what they’re referring to cracking down on. As long as you’ve got a story around the sexual content then you should be fine.

@GaySensei heyyyy, I don’t wanna speak out of term but I’m genuinely so sad you’re leaving so I’m dropping some information that I’m hearing in the circles! They aren’t banning some works that contain this stuff, only stuff that’s like 90% this (this is what I’m hearing) also it’s only heavily cracked down on after all this on new new works! I’m not sure how accurate this is but I’m seeing out authors and people talk about this on some other platforms!

Hello, all!
          
          
          Dropping in to say that the author IS okay! :D
          
          
          I opened Wattpad after a few years (looking for a story I wanted to re-read but the author left the platform) and saw all your comments. It's a great feeling seeing all these strangers care about my well being! ♥︎ I think I owe you all an apology and wanted to let you all know I'm okay and appreciate you all.
          
          
          Update: I'm now 26 and am a full-time working adult. I'm thinking of going back to school (I've already got a few degrees so I guess I'm a masochist lmfao). I'm married and am even more queer lol (using they/he pronouns now)! In my free time I like to play games, watch stuff, write to penpals, and make art. I've been thinking about picking up writing again -- this isn't a promise, though.
          
          
          As much as I love the stories that blew me up, the writing could be.... much better lol. I've matured a lot since writing Worthless and The Art of Sin and feel that, if I ever return to them, it will be to COMPLETELY rewrite them. They just scream "traumatized-angsty-teen" y'know? I am focused on a few story ideas right now, but DO want to eventually return to these series. I'll keep the old ones up for those who enjoy them. I also have some qualms about using Wattpad as a platform in the future.
          
          
          Again, this is not a promise, but more of a check-in and apology. 
          
          
          I appreciate you all so much ♥︎ For those that care, I am happy to say I am the most mentally stable I've ever been and life has gotten better for me.
          
          
          Thank you again for all that you are!!!

@marleenloves tysm for your words T^T I'm going to dedicate a weekend soon to creating an Ao3 account, I think, in preparation for releasing work. One of my favorite Wattpad authors (PrinceKenzie) has a patreon now where they publish their work, and I've also thought about something like that, but idk.
            
            When I do, I will make an announcement here and upload Worthless and The Art of Sin as they are now (with a MASSIVE disclaimer that they are vvvvv old drafts). I was just made aware of the new content guidelines and, fearing they'd be deleted, unpublished them for now. 
            
            I will keep this account probably forever, though, so that people know where I move/I can get an ego boost from my reader stats lmao
            
            I've had this account since, like, middle or high school, so I'm kind of emotional about it ngl.

Hi there! 
          I'm a fellow Wattpad writer and recently published a story called "ASHEN FLAMES". It's a BL love story with  the story following a boy reincarnated in a book as the villian who catches the attention of the main couple by  whom he is  hated by.[ did I mention it's a polyamory]
          
          If you're ever in the mood to explore something new, I’d love for you to check it out:
